Christopher Timothy "Chris" Tremlett (born 2 September 1981) is an English former cricketer who played for Surrey County Cricket Club. He was a 6 feet 7 inches (2.01 m) tall fast-medium bowler able to extract bounce on most surfaces. Tremlett started his playing career with Hampshire in 2000 and was awarded his county cap in 2004. He made his One Day International debut in 2005, and two years later played his first Test. Tremlett played three Tests in 2007 before injury interrupted.

Tremlett moved to Surrey for the start of 2010 after struggling with injury. Since then he forced his way back into the Test team and participated in England's victory in the 2010–11 Ashes in Australia. He is a competent number 8 or 9 batsman, with seven first-class fifties to his name and has a strong arm from the deep.

He retired from all forms of cricket on 21 August 2015 due to injury. Tremlett had been affected by back and knee injuries in recent years and had been restricted to three Championship appearances for Surrey in 2015.

Tremlett started career at Hursley Park CC. Tremlett took a wicket with his first ball in first-class cricket against New Zealand A in 1999, dismissing Mark Richardson. He went to India with the Under-19s in 2000/01, and was one of the first cricketers to attend the ECB Academy the following year.

Tremlett won the NBC Denis Compton Award in both 2000 and 2001. His grandfather Maurice played three times for England in the 1940s and also for Somerset, while his father Tim turned a playing career into a coaching job at Hampshire, and has coached his son during Chris's entire professional career.
